Surviving Heartbreak novel

---- That night, Penelope was already asleep when she felt someone lying next to her. That person soon hugged her from behind. Subconsciously , she wiggled out of his embrace while pretending to be asleep. The next thing she knew, Jacob pulled her back into his arms. He sounded quite shocked. "Penny, why did you cut your precious long hair all of a sudden?" Penelope's eyes remained closed as she played dead. Suddenly, she felt his warm lips on hers.

"Your silhouette looks just like Becky's when you have long hair. But your eyes don't look like hers at all. " Phantom pain flared from Penelope's heart at that moment . Her fingers closed around the hem of her shirt subconsciously. No wonder Jacob was exceptionally turned on whenever Penelope turned her back on him in bed. Clearly , he had been screwing her while fantasizing that she was Rebecca.

Ironically enough, Penelope had thought that Jacob actually loved her body despite not being romantically interested in her. She had seriously wasted the last eight years being nothing but a pathetic loser. Penelope wasn't able to sleep a wink throughout the ---- night. The next day, while washing up in the bathroom, she happened to come across a news article of Jacob watching a fireworks display with a mystery woman.

Although the reporters were only able to take photos of the woman's blurry silhouette, Penelope could still recognize that woman as Rebecca. "Penny , breakfast is ready!" Jacob called out while serving the dishes on the table. Penelope turned away to wipe the tears off her cheeks. She replied coldly, "I'm not hungry." Jacob was confused when he noticed how crestfallen Penelope looked. He walked over and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Tf you feel very bored at home, why don't I take you to a fashion boutique later and order a few gowns of the latest designs for you?" Since Penelope couldn't say no to Jacob, she could only agree to his suggestion. Both of them had just arrived at the boutique when they bumped into Rebecca , who was clad in a white dress at that time.
